Here on two discs are all six episodes of the first season of this acclaimed BBC series, based on Jennifer Worth's bestselling memoir, that chronicles the exhilarating life of a midwife in poverty-stricken East London in the 1950s. Fresh out of nursing school, Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine as the young Jenny, Vanessa Redgrave as the mature Jenny) works with an order of nursing nuns to provide the poorest women in London with the best possible care. Most deliveries take place at home, where Jenny encounters women like Conchita, who is on her 25th pregnancy, and Mary, a 15-year-old prostitute—all the while hiding her own secret past. British sitcom star Miranda Hart won a BAFTA nomination for her portrayal of Chummy Brown.
